Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri's miss-a-meal campaign is one part of an official food-conservation program. Another was an appeal to farmers to grow two crops a year instead of only one-or three instead of two. In his speeches, Shastri often cries Jai Kisan! (Hail Farmer!) giving farmers equal billing with the soldiers on the Pakistan battlelines in the fight to save India. Shastri has also asked city dwellers to raise whatever food they can.

No one had much hope the offer would be accepted...

Scarcely 5 ft. tall, with a clerkish mien and a gentle, self-deprecating voice, the wonder is that Shastri ever became the head of the world's largest democratic state.
